I am neither beautiful nor crazy

Outside the gate of the hall, a fast horse-drawn carriage has already been prepared.Jiang Yu lifted the curtain of the car with one hand and strode in, and the black horse galloped with a sound of whips breaking through the air.

The men in black lurking around the gate also waited for the opportunity to follow closely behind.

The guards on duty by the roadside seemed to have been deliberately dismissed long ago, and the whole road was eerily quiet.

Gu Yuan hadn't recovered from the fright just now, staring at Jiang Yu's pale face at a loss.

"Don't be afraid, I won't die." Jiang Yu stared into Gu Yuan's eyes and said softly.

"Your Highness, are you poisoned or...not?"

Jiang Yu didn't speak, neither admitted nor denied.

"Then how do you know that the wine is poisonous?" Gu Yuan continued to ask.

Jiang Yu looked into Gu Yuan's terrified eyes, and from those eyes, he saw the scene of his own blood splashing on his white clothes in the palace just now.

"I can tell." He suddenly smiled.

From his birth to the present, he has always had an unknown ability - he can see the deepest fear in his heart through the eyes of others.

This ability taught Jiang Yu to see through the sincerity hidden under the skin of people, and it also saved him from difficulties when others tried to frame him.

But this court is no farther than the rivers and lakes, and people's hearts are unpredictable.The things in their eyes are full of lust and blood.

This ability made him tired and tired, and he suffered a lot.

Every time he raised his eyes, it was like circling around the edge of a knife, seeing everyone's darkest thoughts at a glance.

However, Jiang Yu also saw other fragments from Gu Yuan's eyes.

The poisonous wine that was glowing with green ash, the desolate and dilapidated side palace, and the beauty who fell on the ground and died with regret.

Jiang Yu's eyes moved slightly, his upper body leaned forward, and a gentle yet youthful voice sounded.

"Gu Yuan, let me ask you something."

"Your Highness, tell me."

"17 years ago, when my concubine mother died..."

Gu Yuan opened his eyes slightly.

——Kangdang.

Jiang Yu's voice was interrupted by a violent shock, the carriage stopped abruptly as if being blocked, and the two people in the carriage slammed into the wall of the carriage heavily.

"Who!" Gu Yuan exclaimed in surprise, just as he was about to lift the curtain to look out, a sword light pierced through the window ahead of his movement, barely stopping an inch before the tip of Gu Yuan's nose.

At the same time, the coachman driving the horse slowly fell down with a harsh "thud".

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yu subconsciously stretched out his left hand to the cushion behind the car, and pulled out a soft sword that was as long as his forearm.

This kind of sword is tough but not heavy. It is suitable for medium and close range combat, and it requires extremely high skill of the sword holder.

Best of all, it's small and short for easy hiding, and can be inserted into the cushion without showing its head and tail.

Jiang Yu pressed down on Gu Yuan's shoulder with two fingers, and asked out the window at the same time, "Who stopped the car, but money is urgent and you need gold and silver?"

No one answered outside the car, only the rhythmic sound of footsteps that were so small that they were almost inaudible, surrounding the carriage tightly.

The hearts of the two sank.

The meaning of Jiang Yu's question was obvious, whether the man in black wanted money or life.

But both their disciplined pace and their silent confrontation suggested the latter.

"Your Highness the Seventh Highness, please come out and talk." Someone outside the car said.

As if corresponding to it, light rain fell from the sky.

Jiang Yu hid the soft sword in his left cuff, turned his head and looked at Gu Yuan, and silently spit out three words.

Gu Yuan immediately understood what Jiang Yu meant. He turned around and jumped out of the car. The moment he opened the door, he got on his horse and slapped the horse's back hard.

The black horse was frightened and ran wildly.Only then did the man in black outside the car realize that the person outside the car was not Jiang Yu, and shot at them densely with random arrows.

The sound of the wind was torn apart by the galloping horseshoes, the rain suddenly intensified, and thunder shook in the distance.

There was only a whoosh, and the sharp sound of a sharp arrow piercing through the air sounded.

Relying on instinct, Jiang Yu quickly turned his head. With the huge shock of the car body, a feather arrow was inserted directly into the position where Jiang Yu's head was just now.The bow was drawn with great strength, and the arrow tail was still trembling slightly.

The door of the car was smashed, and the man in black outside the car stabbed almost parallel to the carriage.Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he tore off the arrow on the back of the car, and threw it towards a black figure outside the car window with his backhand.

A splash of hot blood instantly stained the white car windows red, and was immediately washed away by the pouring rain.

The carriage had already reached the edge of the encirclement, and if it rushed forward, it would hit the knife edge.

Jiang Yu's smooth and natural movements actually hesitated for a moment.

Do you want to do it?

Unlike other princes, he does not have any backing in the court. In the past 17 years, he has only pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger to protect himself, try his best to pretend to be weak and decadent, and stay away from political disputes.

But if he uses his sword at this time, it will definitely expose the fact that he knows martial arts. After that, he will have no way out in the face of open and dark arrows.

But if he didn't make a move, Gu Yuan who was sitting in front of the car would be pierced through the heart with a sword!

The hesitation is only for a moment.

Jiang Yu turned over and leaned out from the side of the car door, bent his waist to avoid the horizontal sword edge, grabbed the upper corner of the car with both hands, and hung in mid-air with his feet on his feet, hanging himself to the side of the horse by inertia.

At the same time, Gu Yuan tightened his grip on the reins, and the car barely stopped an inch before the knife, and the carriage was instantly overturned by random arrows.

Jiang Yu stood still on the ground, the blood jade on his chest glowing dimly in the rain.

The rain was biting and cold, and he squinted his eyes, only to see a fast-moving blade heading straight for his face.

The hand hidden under the sleeve of his robe tightly held the hilt of the sword, the muscles of his whole body tightened, and the exquisite jawline stretched out a beautiful arc.

Within one foot, guard; outside one foot, endure.

The tip of the sword kept zooming in before his eyes. The situation was critical. Jiang Yu suddenly drew his sword and was about to reach out to block it.

The saber movement stopped suddenly.

Instead, there was a sharp sound of nails scraping against the grindstone.

Jiang Yu withdrew his sword reflexively.

Immediately, I saw a small lump flashing past in front of my face, so fast that only an afterimage remained.But there is strength in it, and all the blades where it passes are forced to turn.

But in an instant, the object swept over and fell to the ground, and Jiang Yu saw clearly who it was.

——It was just an ordinary black pebble.

Everyone turned their gazes to the source of the stone, and saw several figures riding horses towards this side under the rain curtain.

The leader was wearing armor, with an epee hanging from his waist, and holding the reins with one hand.

I don't see his face, but I feel that his whole body is cold, and his riding posture doesn't look like a person from the Central Plains.

Rainwater trickled down the iron guards on his shoulders in streams, but did not touch his body.

The men in black around saw that something was wrong, and thought that the matter had been exposed, turned around and retreated, and disappeared into the rain in an instant.

And the person on the horse also came in front of him at this time.

The moonlight was dim, and the man was dressed in black with black protective gear.But his face was actually wearing a sterling silver mask.

Jiang Yu didn't recognize him, but he could roughly guess who that person was.

After all, three-year-olds have heard the rumors about General Xiao Xiangling of Northern Xinjiang: his face is hideous and ugly, and he often hides it with a silver mask.

"Thank you for this son's rescue. If there is a chance in the future, I will do my best to repay you." Jiang Yu lowered his eyes slightly and cupped his hands.

Xiao Xiangling was rushing to the palace banquet, but accidentally encountered the situation where swords were on the verge of breaking out in the palace, so he subconsciously stepped in to save him.

He didn't think too much, and he didn't want anything in return from the stranger in front of him.

He nodded at Jiang Yu, then patted the horse's back and continued to drive forward.

The moment the two figures crossed each other, it seemed that a red light flashed, so faint that one could think it was an illusion.

But Xiao Xiangling, as if being whipped by a whip, turned around suddenly, and looked at Shang Jiangyu's surprised gaze that had not had time to retract.

I saw a red blood jade hanging on Jiang Yu's chest.Half of it is hidden in the clothes, and the other half is shining strangely under the moon.

"General Xiao, General Xiao? But what's wrong?"

Xiao Xiangling didn't come to his senses until the person behind him was born to remind him.He turned over and dismounted, only to realize that a thin layer of sweat had already oozed from his palms.

Jiang Yu saw Xiao Xiangling turned back again, his heart tightened, but he still said calmly, "I am a servant of the prince's mansion, who blamed me for speaking wild words during the day, which caused this murder."

Jiang Yu smiled sarcastically, flicked his wrist skillfully, exposing his pale and obviously thin forearm, and continued talking.

"If it weren't for this young master's help, I, a weak man with no strength to restrain a chicken, would have been killed by the sword long ago."

Gu Yuan who was behind him almost tripped himself up when he heard "Hands have no strength to restrain a chicken".

Xiao Xiangling didn't speak, but fixed his eyes on the piece of jade on Jiang Yu's chest, as if some kind of long-standing and strange emotion was about to break out, and then it was out of control.

But Jiang Yu lowered his head, from his angle he could only see the shadows of the two falling on the ground.

and increasingly violent rain.

"Which prince's servant are you?" Jiang Yu heard the man ask suddenly.

"My servant is the attendant of the Seventh Prince's mansion who is also powerless." Jiang Yu said warmly.

Gu Yuan couldn't wait to give Jiang Yu a thumbs up for his acting skills.

Seeing that Xiao Xiangling hadn't spoken, Jiang Yu wanted to get out as soon as possible, "Does this son have other things? The little one has to rush back to prepare a chamber pot for His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

"Yes." Xiao Xiangling replied almost immediately, subconsciously took a step forward, but stopped suddenly.

Jiang Yu couldn't hear it, but the soldiers behind Xiao Xiangling raised their heads curiously.

In the past, General Xiao, who had always kept his promises and remained calm, unexpectedly heard a little panic in his voice for the first time.

"...That's all." After a pause for two seconds, Xiao Xiangling continued, "I just saw the young master and thought of an... old friend."

"Old friend?" Jiang Yu tasted these two words with great interest, and raised his head, "Young Master, you are joking, how could I be your old friend..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and the self-deprecating smile on Jiang Yu's face froze in place.

I saw that the mask of the person in front of me was exquisitely patterned, and only a pair of eyes were revealed from the mask, with light in it.

And in those eyes, there is nothing but his own figure reflected.

——His ability was invalid in front of Xiao Xiangling.
